No business can pay to be ranked · how this is measured
Is your business in this answer?
12 assistants answered “Who are the best real estate agents in Sacramento, CA?” this month and named 24 real estate agents in Sacramento, CA. Which side of that list you are on decides whether a customer asking that question ever hears your name.
On the list, and want to be higher?
Rank here is set by how many assistants repeat your name and which sources they read to decide it — the 24 sources above are the ones that shaped this answer. Our platform measures exactly that for one business: the same 12 assistants, daily instead of monthly, which of those sources you appear on and which you don't, and every fix tracked until the answer changes.
You're not on the list
Then for this question you were not in the answer at all — not ranked low, absent from the shortlist, with nothing to tell you it happened. That is the ordinary case: most real estate agents in Sacramento, CA are never named. AI Pulse shows you what each assistant says about your business and what to change so it names you.

How is this ranking measured?
Fixed, unbranded consumer questions — including "Who are the best real estate agents in Sacramento, CA?" — are put to the same assistants every month.

No business can pay to appear or to rank higher.

The prompt set is fixed and unbranded, so month-over-month movement means the assistants changed their answer — not that we changed the question.
